Pick And Place Screw Capping Machine Manufacturer & Supplier In Great Britain

Modern bottling lines demand absolute reliability in cap placement and tightening, especially when handling high production volumes and diverse container formats. Across Great Britain, manufacturers operating in London, Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, and the South East manufacturing corridor require screw capping solutions that eliminate misfeeds, prevent cap jamming, and maintain consistent torque at high speeds.

The Pick And Place Screw Capping Machine is engineered precisely for these requirements. Unlike conventional shut pick-up systems, this advanced rotary machine uses a dedicated pick-and-place mechanism to achieve accurate, repeatable screw capping with minimal rejects, making it a preferred choice for high-performance packaging lines across the UK.

What is a Pick And Place Screw Capping Machine

A Pick And Place Screw Capping Machine is a rotary automatic capping system that applies screw caps onto bottles using a controlled pick-and-place mechanism. Instead of relying on gravity or chute-based pickup, the machine uses two specialized cams—one for picking the cap from the star wheel and another for precisely placing it onto the bottle mouth.

This technology ensures accurate cap placement before tightening, resulting in near-zero cross-threading and consistent sealing quality. The machine is suitable for glass, plastic, PET, HDPE, and LDPE bottles, including applications requiring CRC (child-resistant caps).

Manufactured by Technogen Enterprise, the machine is designed to deliver premium performance, hygiene, and long-term operational reliability.

Working Principle (Step-by-Step)

1. Bottle Infeed & Indexing
   Bottles are separated through a feed worm and indexed into the rotary platform via star wheel assemblies.

2. Cap Feeding & Orientation
   Screw caps are supplied through a suitable cap feeding system such as a vibratory feeder, mechanical orientator, or elevator.

3. Cap Pick-Up
   The first cam precisely picks the cap from the cap pick-up star wheel.

4. Cap Placement
   The second cam places the cap accurately onto the bottle mouth, ensuring correct alignment.

5. Screw Capping Operation
   Jaw-type magnetic action screw capping heads tighten the cap with controlled mechanical torque.

6. No Bottle–No Cap Control
   The machine applies caps only when bottles are present, preventing wastage.

7. Bottle Discharge
   Fully capped bottles exit smoothly through the outfeed star wheel for downstream operations.
